ost of you are likely not familiar with me because I have not had the pleasure of working with the Jewish Federation of Greater Naples on Sharon Hood Federation Star since mid-2007. So, please allow me to share a bit of my background. Originally from Wyoming, and with an MBA from the University of Wyoming, I spent the first several years of my career handling marketing and advertising for a variety of companies in Omaha, Nebraska. Upon relocating to Naples in 1992, I served as Deputy Director for the Naples Area Board of Realtors until 2000, when I answered the entrepreneurial call and started MarketCrank, Inc., which publishes the community newspapers Pelican Bay Post and The Pelican Marsh Brief,

and designs marketing collateral for area businesses. In late-2007, my team and I launched èBella magazine, celebrating more than 50 women each year, providing in excess of $3.2 mil. of much-needed exposure to numerous area nonprofits’ causes and earning 24 awards from the Florida Magazine Association. As you can probably hear in what I’m not saying directly, I am backed by a very talented team of dedicated individuals and we love what we do! A Leadership Collier 2017 graduate, I have served on the boards of Champions for Learning, Dress for Success, Children’s Home Society, the Collier County Bar Foundation, House of Gaia and League of Courageous Women. It’s my pleasure to lend my expertise, and that of my team, to your publication, celebrating Jewish life in Greater Naples, Israel and the world. I look forward to working with you!
